I'd suggest installing TeX Live from upstream still.  I had hopes that
the newer Ubuntu texlive packages would work for our manual, but we
still hit some minor snags. So it's easiest to just install from
upstream. Then you know you have the latest versions of the TeX Live
packages.

Good call. I'd hope by this point that contributors to our project are
using a more modern version of Ubuntu!  I've removed that note.

I've done that now, too.

Thanks!
